This book criticizes sharply the way in which schools create, exacerbate and ignore the distress of children, when in fact the place that is supposed to provide a humane response to that very distress. Taking a broad critical and interdisciplinary approach (philosophical, sociological, psychological and educational), the book points out the organizational, psychological and functional difficulties of today's public school, which prevent the adults working there from sensing taking responsibility for and acting to alleviate the distress of children.
Khen Lampert is Director, Karev Program for Educational Involvement, Ashdod Region, Israel. He is also a lecturer in European and Buddhist Philosophy, World History, and Post-Colonial Theory, in the Department of East Asian Studies at Tel Aviv University.
